Updating the BMC Firmware Through the GUI
Before beginning the firmware update, download the latest firmware version and save it on
your local system. During the update, the AC power of the managed system cannot be
turned off, and the GUI cannot be closed.
To update the firmware, follow these steps:
1 Click the Maintenance button to access the Firmware Update window.
2 Click the Enter Update Mode button.
3 Use the Select Firmware to Upload field to indicate the location of the firmware image.
Either browse to the location or enter the path. For example:
C:\Updates\V1.0\<image_name>
4 To force an update, click the Force Update checkbox. This forces the BMC to update
the image without first validating the target board, target product, and version
number.
5 Click the Upload Firmware button.
6 A window appears with a message indicating that the firmware image has been
verified and compared to the existing device firmware. Click the OK button.
7 The Preserve Configuration checkbox is selected by default. If you do not wish to
preserve configuration, click the checkbox to deselect it.
Click the Start Upgrade button.
8 A window appears with a message indicating that clicking the OK button will
start the upgrade. Click the button to start the operation.
